Flyrob Thought about fishing the Port Deposit Striped Bass Tournament Saturday but when I saw 4 spill gates open Friday night I decided against it. They had 3 gates open on Saturday. Like Mudpup I did some work around the house too. 3 years ago

Flyrob Thanks for the info Mike. Seem odd that they are running spillers with levels only slightly elevated. The good news is the discharge water doesn't look really dirty so once they're out of spill the river should clean up fast. Hopefully our injuries... Show more 3 years ago

mudpuppy Thanks Rob, best news this week. I have not heard of much happening on the flats just yet. With water temps gradually rising (and hopefully clearing) it shouldn't be too long until things break loose. 3 years ago

Wild Bill Terrible late flats season Rob. Makes you wonder if the fish will show at all in good numbers. I would have a little more confidence near the Sass. Been wanting to try it but the mud keeps coming. 4 years ago

Capt. Chris Tried the Sass yesterday. Water a little better than the flats, but not a lot of bites. Just a few shorts. Omar was there too, and did about the same. Still hoping we will get a fall bite! 4 years ago
